Accessibility

We tell stories for mission organizations, and those stories should reach everyone. We want riseworks.org to work for people who use screen readers, magnification, captions, voice control or a keyboard alone.

Our goal

We are working to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA across riseworks.org.

What we have done

• Text, links and buttons use colours with enough contrast to read.
• Menus, plan details and forms work from the keyboard, and menus announce whether they are open.
• Form fields have visible labels, and related choices are grouped under their question.
• Decorative icons and images are hidden from screen readers, and sample screens are labelled as examples.
• Embedded videos have titles, and background videos stay still when your device asks for less motion.
• Animations follow your device's reduce-motion setting.

What we are still fixing

• Captions on some of our films contain errors, including misspelled names. We are correcting them and adding short text descriptions of the key visuals for our main films.
• Some older pages and colour accents on them have not been checked yet.
• Videos play through YouTube, so the player itself follows YouTube's accessibility features.
